We had a great time at Walker Thanksgiving this weekend. We always look forward to playing games and spending time together. Scott and Lori decided to build a shed in the backyard so they could get rid of a storage unit that had a bunch of Zuriel's things in it. Melissa and Adam and Jenna had been up in the week earlier helping. Then we worked on building all the walls. We got 2 walls up before going in for Thanksgiving dinner.
We shared some of the things we are grateful for this year. Shantel talked about getting the opportunity to go on so many amazing trips (Hawaii twice, plus Cancun). I talked about how I am so grateful that we have such great cameras/pictures. I love that I got to go to Hawaii and Shantel and I have so many amazing pictures that we have to remember our trip.
On the left is Shantel's plate and mine is on the right. I love how they are polar opposites. I have turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and a roll and it was delicious. Shantel was so excited for all the other things, she did a little turkey and roll, but no potatoes or stuffing. She piled on all the other delicious sides. She said that was her favorite Thanksgiving meal she ever has had.
After dinner we got the last two walls up. Then even though it was basically dark, we decided to go ahead and put the trusses on the roof as well.
Scott was having hand surgery on Tuesday. So Shantel and Jenna went back on Monday to help with the roof. They did not quite finish, so Shantel and Jenna stayed over on Monday night and they went back out on Tuesday to finish it while Scott went to his surgery.
They are so awesome to have done that and are such good examples of service.
